Why watch Beetlejuice?
- A wickedly funny burst of chaos, Beetlejuice brings Tim Burton’s 1988cult classic back from the dead, this time louder, stranger, and perfectly twisted for the stage.
- After haunting Broadway and bagging eight Tony nominations, the ghost-with-the-most now sets up shop in London under the eye of Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!), with a book by Scott Brown & Anthony King.
- Expect a delirious mix of big-budget stagecraft, jaw-dropping illusions, and goth-rock anthems by Eddie Perfect like “Say My Name” and “The Whole ‘Being Dead’ Thing.”
- Sandworms slither, ghosts sing, and the dearly departed dance, all inside Prince Edward Theatre. Book your tickets to the Beetlejuice musical in London now before it vanishes back into the Netherworld.
The musical version of Beetlejuice in London follows the story of teenage goth Lydia Deetz and the mischievous demon Beetlejuice, who refuses to stay dead. With a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King and music & lyrics by Eddie Perfect, the creative team brings Tim Burton’s cult film to the stage with flair. It opened on Broadway in 2019 and earned multiple nominations, including eight Tony Award nods. On the West End, forecasts anticipate the same wild visual energy, including sandworms, séances and inventive staging at the Prince Edward Theatre.
Storyline
In this mischievous musical, Lydia Deetz moves into a house with her father and soon finds it haunted by a recently deceased couple and the irrepressible ghost Beetlejuice. As Lydia struggles with her mother’s death and her own outsider identity, she summons the ghost-with-the-most for help, and chaos ensues. The soundtrack pulses with dark humour and theatrical flair, and the show keeps you wondering whether the living or the dead are really in control. The plot twist? You’ll have to see the show to find out.
